camp powell 2009

"If this ain't perfect, what is?"

We just got back from a relaxing week at Camp Powell, Sarah's family getaway in Vermont.  The cabin is right on a very secluded and pristine bay off of Lake Champlain.  It's the best swimming in the world and Emmett ate it up!

Tiny E was totally fearless in his pursuit of adventure, crawling in rushed zig zags in and out of the waves.  With his perpetually sandy bottom, I think it's safe to say Emmett's a real beach bum.  He even is starting to take his very first steps.

Katie T and The Rubinstein Clan all came up to share some of our good times.


The twins made good friends with Raleigh.


First the cupcake, now the bagel....where do we get such large baked goods?






No trip is complete without a stop at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill for some fresh cider doughnuts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMETT!


Hard to believe, Emmett's 1st birthday is here.  We've survived a whole year, and I must say it's been a pretty fun time!

We had a blow out for his birthday with lots of his peers and other assorted children to run around and generally wreak havok.


Our old friend Paul, the ice cream man, brought his truck and everyone enjoyed his wares.

Emmett ate a cupcake bigger than his head.

We all sang Happy Birthday.

Emmett got a chance to hang with our good buddy, Dave.

Contemplating another turn 'round the sun.

Verdict:  "YAY!!"
